I've done this, sorta.  I used a pair of MaxStream 9XCite 900 MHz 9600
baud wireless modules for the link.  I didn't use an actual STK500,
but instead used Jason Kyle's STK500 emulating bootloader on one of my
MAVRIC-IIB boards.

I used it to reflash my robot from a remote location without having to
to actually have a physical connection.  Worked great.

For an actual STK500, though, you will need something that support
115.2 kbps.  In my case, since it was a bootloader and I was using
AVRDUDE to drive it, I could slow the baud rate down to the 9600 baud
supported by the radio link.
